Awwww man! Clowns?!! I'm still going. Eff it!
Cheers and Fears Everyone!
As many of you know, I hit up Netherworld—one of the nation’s most scary and revered haunted houses—every year and it gets better and… I mean scarier and scarier! Well, it back on in 2024 and all the info is below straight from the source. As a matter of fact, I’m going to tonight for date night. This year, they have two new themes for us to brave out: WAKE THE DEAD and MR. GRENDEL’S BIRTHDAY PARTY OF HORRORS. In WAKE THE DEAD. Located in Stone Mountain right off Highway 78, the parking is free and here is the address: 1313 NETHERWORLD Way, Stone Mountain, GA 30087. The phone contact for NETHERWORLD at 404-999-FEAR.
Here is the official description…
What Netherworld says: Lords of the NETHERWORLD
have howled the ancient hymns and rung the iron bells to Wake The Dead,
unleashing an army of spectral horrors who aim to turn the entire world into
realm of shadows! Scare-lovers will face vampires, ghosts, and zombies as they
battle with a force of apocalyptic warriors to control powerful elemental
energy.
In MR. GRENDEL’S BIRTHDAY PARTY OF HORRORS,
Mr. Grendel, an ancient flesh-eating ogre disguised as a clown, gathers a band
of savage jesters who end up in a battle with The Lord of Nightmares himself –
The Boogeyman! Those brave enough to enter will be met with a myriad of
monsters that could only come from nightmares, and perhaps the scariest beings
of all, demented clowns!
Dammit, I saw “clowns” in the Mr. Grendel description and immediately
remembered how haunting the original Poltergeist was! Oh well, being a glutton
for punishment, I’m there! Hope to see you too!
Cheers!

Official Description: For lovers of fear, fright, and all spooky
things, the best time of year is officially here! NETHERWORLD Haunted House is
making its terrifying return this Friday, Sept. 20 and Saturday, Sept. 21,
putting thrill-seekers in the middle of two thrilling new tales. As one of the
longest-running immersive experiences in Atlanta, NETHERWORLD takes guests on a
journey full of twists, and turns, packed with nightmarish creatures from
beginning to end. Along with the new haunts, NETHERWORLD delivers more
spine-tingling fun with the festival-style Midway, a monster museum featuring
rare movie props and a collection of NETHERWORLD memorabilia, and five epic
escape rooms.
Those who manage to escape both haunts will have access to NETHERWORLD’s
Halloween-drenched Midway. Packed with frightful fun, the Midway features
towering jack-o'-lanterns, spooky games, creepy photo ops, and plenty of
monsters roaming the area, ready to give guests more thrills or an
Instagram-worthy moment. Dodging creatures can famish guests so, NETHERWORLD
offers a variety of food and beverage options, including mini donuts with tasty
and indulgent toppings, hot dogs, vegan corn dogs, Dippin’ Dots, nachos,
gourmet popcorn with collectible buckets, pretzels, bratwurst and more. By
popular demand, NETHERWORLD is also bringing back the fan-favorite beverage
station: Dr. Octane’s Bizarre Beverages, where the twisted mad scientist Dr.
Octane serves several flavors of colorful, bubbling non-alcoholic drinks now
served in an optional collectible light-up glass. New this year, the haunted
attraction will also offer light-up cotton candy and “Blood Bags” featuring
tasty drinks guests can sip like a vampire! NETHERWORLD is bringing back its
infamous Zombie Rampage Energy Drink, the classic beverage strong enough to
wake the dead and available once again to fans after a decade-long hiatus.
More bone-chilling details on this year’s haunt themes:
WAKE THE DEAD: The Lords of The NETHERWORLD have howled
the ancient hymns and rung the iron bells to Wake The Dead! A spectral
army now marches from beneath the mountain to steal a source of endless
elemental energy and turn the entire world into a blighted necropolis. That is
unless a small force of apocalyptic warriors can use this energy to defeat
the dead and seal the gateway to the NETHERWORLD forever!
Featuring: The Corpse Army, The Shock Bridge, The Primordial
Prisoners, The Death Machine, The Church of Horrors, Servants of the Witches,
The Nest of Vampires, Bats in the Belfry, Demons in the Walls, The Deadly Claw,
The Fortress of Nergal, The Cyclopean Death Knight, The Massive Mind Numbing
Eater of The Dead, and more flesh-eating, blood-drinking, bone cracking undead
action than you can possibly comprehend. Live your last few moments in
incomprehensible horror if you dare to Wake The Dead!
MR. GRENDEL’S BIRTHDAY PARTY OF HORRORS: Mr. Grendel, the
ancient flesh-eating ogre disguised as a clown, has discovered that eating
Cryptids gives him unimaginable powers. As he and his merry band of savage
jesters rampage throughout the secret facility called the BOX on a Cryptid
eating spree, they unexpectedly step into the tormented world of the Boogeyman
– the most powerful Cryptid of all. As the battle rages between the Lord of
Nightmares and the cantankerous carnivorous clown, the only question that remains
is who will have the last laugh?
Featuring: The Ghastly Gateway, The Train of Terrors, The
Puppet Show of Pain, The Mongolian Death Clown, The Jesters’ Feast, The
Odditorium, The Laughing Room, What the Clown Saw, Mothman's Misery, Enter the
Hellmouth, The Fanatical Freakshow, Dark Ride Doom, The Hospital of Horrors,
Chupacabra Chaos, and more terrifically twisted terror than the human mind
could ever understand. Get ready for the most fun you’ve ever had while being
savagely hunted by clowns in Mr. Grendel's Birthday Party of Horrors!

offer! Those who crave even more mystery and adventure can also enjoy
